You have your house on the market. A Chinese couple agree to buy it for the sale price. An Australian couple want to haggle you down to about half its value. Which one would you sell to?

Are the Chinese couple permanent residents in Australia ? or are they foreign investors. Myself I don't worship money.

Settle petal. The numbers came from the CDC website, but admittedly I wasn't aware the estimates were based on "mathematical modelling".

What is my agenda? I don't want another all out war. What's yours? Let me ask you, do you feel safer now than before the last war? What did Australia benefit out of it?

And do you even want to consider the outcome if we lost this time?!?!

Yes, and that's the problem. We rely on the same bastards who would slit our throat in a dark alley and rob us.

Boots on ground war will be reserved for smaller proxy battles hosted by small nations to push vested interests - ie Middle East with arming and training one side of the coin.

If you were really interested in hurting China then you'd look into sourcing your manufacturing elsewhere.

Australians are too self centered to think of anything other than their own pocket, we all want higher wages and want to pay less for everything, so we're tied to China.
The Banking world seen China as a good investment, so the degenerate West invested in such full on and they were traitors who undermine the West in their greed to take advantage of exploiting such a work force.
Look at the people of China, well they get some benefit in all this and look at how many wealthy China men have got so rich in exploiting their own people.
I say to unions why do you support Nations that exploits people, where is your moral compass.
If China ect had the same standards as the west for it's people that's fine by me but China is the biggest con job on the West ever, they are set to rule over you due to the West ignorance.
Communism is a system that only exploits all the people, but the mega rich love communism, because they love to exploit all they can as well, hell they propped it all up from WW2 on in fact. they went to war for what f all, Poland and all was fed to the dogs and no one gave a rats. did they win the war ? they won nothing ! all they did was they propped up Communism in fact.
North Korea whole defence force has been totally payed for by the USA tax payer from the start, oh they call it aid, so the idiots don't starve to death.
All of Communism would of failed 30 years ago if it were not propped up.
But here we are under threat of a huge monster that can play games with us, Communist history proves they are the biggest mob of murdering hyenas ever.
This Covid19 is proven to be man made and the tactic is to bring about a depression, it's an act of war !

A lot of people have seen the problems with globalisation for decades. The fundamental problem is:

Politicians only want your vote and your money.

Literally 9/10 votes don't matter.

The people who determine who gets into government, swing voters in marginal seats, don't think about politics until it directly affects them. They tune in 1 week before the election, check who is offering the biggest barrel of pork and vote accordingly.

That is why we are f'd...and typing stuff on the internet won't change a damn thing.

Take a good long look at the 97 "asian currency crisis". It was basically engineered to get foreign (USA) capital out of SEA as their unsustainable investments there got close to collapse. They used the IMF to mortgage poor countries so western corporations and HNWIs could avoid losing their $.

Western society isn't perfect, but if you think only the west do this sh*t you are kidding yourself. The powerful have always exploited the weak throughout history throughout the world. And in the past they have done much worse things...

Covid 19 free here now. Well no active confirmed cases

Two adults and children can now visit other households and non-essential shopping will be allowed. Though our rules were fairly soft in comparison to other places and not policed to the same extent. I'm not sure they handed out that many fines.

They are continuing to build a temporary 50 bed ED across the road from the hospital in preparation for a second wave.

I have no idea what these guys are on about Cav!

I personally submit to the new administration of our Chinese overlords, and welcome the rein of Chairman Cav.

In a totally unrelated question, have you tasted Chinese cake?

Just saying...

The movie is available to rent ($5.99) or buy ($9.99) from the link below.

So an Aussie movie predicted the 'Coronavirus' back in 2016. Produced by 'China Shop Productions'.
Anyone interested, this movie is on 10 Peach right now.

I'm glad to see that we're backing in Taiwan as an observer state for WHO, they have done a good job. No doubt China will crack the ****s about that and there is some form of punishment coming for us.

I'm pretty disappointed to see us Aussies putting our neck out for what should be common sense and not a lot of support for it.

We alone won't make any difference but potentially take a huge hit. Where the **** is everyone else?

The investigation doesn't have to begin tomorrow, next week, or even next month but it has to happen.

We need to know the where, the why and the how to try and mitigate this cluster**** the whole world has found itself in. That's beneficial to even China.

I know that from US side it is a lot more political than here but excepting a few loose MPs and senators the only official communication that matters is from the PM and Foreign Minister and it has been mostly objective.

If that is true than that would make it the US fault not China right? Pretty sure there are no Carolinas in China. Make up your mind mate.

Looks like we finally have the EU on board for backing an inquiry. I used to think that G8 at least would be automatic. Bit by bit we are getting there.
